The company was awarded the sole-source, five-year contract Monday, although it would formally receive it until April 28 to verify that no other sources can supply the drug. For smallpox! Where is the Siga management protest!

Flea, you said "signed and binding contract (the merger agreement, not the LATS"
Aren't you aware that the reason the merger did not go through was because Pip failed to finish their part of the bargain before the merger deadline? Some speculate that they were stalling to get a peek at test results before merging. The merger agreement had a break up clause for a specified amount which is what a logical mind would conclude would be the max award to either party.
"it was plainly the FDA responding in agreement to a complaint from a competitor, most likely EBS"
This demonstrates once again that you are out of touch with reality and bend the truth to fit your misguided imagination.

Yo mamma! Is that the best you can do Peabrain? DSC sent it back to Parsons to give him a chance to come up with something reasonable. An award that sends the other company to bankruptcy is not reasonable, particularly when you take into account the misdeeds and false claims by Pip that Parsons overlooked. Please tell us Fleabrain, if you are capable, what is your take on the fraudulent letter sent by Pip to the FDA and how does that support you and your uncle Parsons' theory that Pip lent their valuable expertise to Siga? Also explain why the experts at Pip are unable to come up with a product to sell, yet Siga has brought a product to market on their own.
Pip may end up on top of this, but if they do it is a sad commentary of the state of the Delaware Chancery. Anyone that knows the whole story is aware of Pip's lack of innocence that was conveniently overlooked by Parsons, who among other distinctions is the slowest member of the Chancery and as such has cheated the scales of justice.

Why thumbs down a fact? Pips management are con artists and Parsons is a sucker or on the take. Giving an award that pushes a company into bankruptcy after Pip was just as guilty. Delaware is no longer a good place to incorporate with judges like Parsons on the loose. He may be investigated.

The product fact sheet contains false or misleading statements that represent your product as safe and effective for the purposes for which it is being investigated. This is problematic from a public health perspective because it suggests that SparVax is safe and effective when the product has not yet been approved by FDA and the promotional claims have yet to be demonstrated by substantial evidence or substantial clinical experience. As a result, these materials misbrand your investigational product in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.. there is more.... they have always been liars or incompetent, fooled Parsons though!

Pip's only hope for income is stealing from a company that actually brought a product to market. What kind of company is that? Like Peebrane it produces nothing but blather. It is as if Parsons and Pipsters are unaware that the drug Siga developed is for protecting lives, and they have no moral issues impeding Siga's scientific success with their ambulance chasing lawsuit. You Pipsters should be ashamed of yourselves.
